Hello all! I've got two female spaniels, one 2 and half years old, one 6 months years old. Recall training with my youngest is going very well and she doesn't potter off too far when we're walking. My eldest however has taken this as an opportunity to play up. When she's called back, she does so in her own time in the most convoluted way with lots of circling. She's not food led and so offering treats for coming back quickly whilst a nice idea in theory, won't encourage her to come back quicker as much as it does with my youngest. She's a typical spaniel in that if she sees a pheasant or similar she gets locked on and and it is very hard to get her back quickly. I'm lucky in that she is walked on private land so her transgressions don't impact anyone else but I'd still like to have her come back as soon as she is called. Has anyone got any suggestions for helping to encourage her to come back as soon as she is called rather than when she fancies?
